The Common Market is a Consumer cooperative, where individual owners purchase a share of the business, and receive discounts on products purchased.

She will have some sample products to take home and brochures with more information. The Common Market offers a variety of foods for allergy specific diets and for children with sensitivity to certain foods. They carry a wide variety of vitamin supplements, natural medications, and herbs, including herbal teas. These and the many other benefits of The Common Market will be discussed.

FAN Club Then and Now Fourteen years ago, when Spring Ridge was still a young community, a group of neighbors came together to form what has become the Spring Ridge Friends and Neighbors (FAN) Club. Based on a newcomers type organization, the club was an opportunity for new neighbors to meet others in the community. Neighbors in “Phase 1” could meet neighbors from “Phase II” at monthly get-togethers at the Visitor’s Center. As the club grew, those with specific interests like reading books, forming playgroups, going out to dinner, traveling, etc. found friendship and fun in our “interest groups”. We’ve even had special themed events on a larger scale like the formal Titanic Dinner, FAN Club Goes to Hollywood, a 70’s Retro Party, Murder Mystery Dinners and more. Community Service has also become a big part of the FAN Club’s activities in recent years. Whether it’s packing backpacks for needy students at Spring Ridge Elementary or cleaning up Spring Ridge Parkway, FAN Club members have been an integral part of the Spring Ridge community. Join Us! We welcome new members who may have lived here many years as well as newcomers to the neighborhood. Join us at one of our regular monthly socials at the Visitor’s Center. Bring a friend or just come on your own. We will introduce you to a lot of fun people who you may never have had the opportunity to meet.
